CHRIST Gr. FAREZ, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

SAFETY GAS-BURNER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHRIST Gr. FAREZ, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York,'have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Safety Gas-Burners, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to gas burners and has for its general object to provide a gas burner so constructed that when the flame is accidentally blown out either by a person unacquainted with the use of gas lights or by the wind, the supply of gas to the burner is cut off and the escape of gas thus prevented.

A special object of the invention is to provide an improved safety gas burner having provision for cutting oflf the gas when the flame is accidentally blown out no matter in what direction the wind reaches the burner.

With these objects in view the invention consists in the improved construction, arrangement and combination ofthe parts of a gas burner hereinafter fully described and afterward specifically claimed.

Referring to the accompanying drawings wherein is shown an improved embodiment of my invention, Figure 1, represents a side elevation of the burner complete. Fig. 2, represents a vertical sectionalview on the line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3, represents a top plan view of the burner. Fig. 4:, represents a sectional view on the line l4t of Fig. 1.

Referring in detail to the drawing where-- i in similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several figures 5, indicates the ordinary burner tube, within the upper end of which is removably seated a stem 6, of my improved burner. 7, indicates the body portion of the burner which is provided in its upper end with an opening 8, to receive the end of the burner t1p 9. The body port-ion 7 is also provided with a plurality of vertical bores or recesses surrounding the tip opening and forming seats for the three solid valves 11, and a hollow valve 12.

The upper ends of the valves 11 and 12, terminate above the top of the body 7 and are provided with fan blades 13, set to point in different directions when the valves are open, whereby when a current of air in any direction strikes said blades they will be moved and will turn the valves 11, to stop Specification of Letters Patent.

the flow of gas to the burner tip 9, as will be hereinafter more clearly set forth.

In the body portion 7 of the burner is formed a gas passage 1a which leads to the vertical bore or seat of the open valve 12 from which a passage 15 leads to the seat of the first valve 11, a passage 16 from the last named seat to the second valve 11, a passage 17 leading from the seat to the second valve 11 and that of the third valve 11 and a passage 18 which leads from the seat of the third valve 11 to the opening 8 in which the burner tip is seated. When all of the valves 11 and the valve 12 are open, as shown in Fig. 4, the fan blades are set at different angles as shown in Fig. 3 and a free passage of gas is provided from the burner tube 5 to the burner, the gas in said passage entering the bottom of the hollow valve 12 and passing out through its port, the gas passages 15, 16, 17 and 18, and the open ports of the valves 11, to the burner tip 9.

If, in attempting to extinguish the gas flame, an inexperienced person blows out the flame, or if a current of air accidentally passes over the burner and extinguishes the flame, the wind created will necessarily be directed against one or more of the fan blades 13, will move the blade or blades, turn a valve or valves, and cut off the gas from the burner tip 9, it being obvious that by closing any one of the valves, the flow of gas to said tip will be stopped. By simply turning the blade of the closed valve or valves to normal position as in Fig. 3, communication is again established from the burner tube 5, to the tip 9.

While I have specifically described a preferred embodiment of my invention, I re serve the right to make such changes and variations in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A gas burner comprising a body, a gas passage therethrough, a burner tip carried by said body and communicating with said passage, a plurality of valves disposed at intervals in said passage, and fan blades secured to said valves and arranged to point in different directions when the valves are open.

2. A gas burner comprising a body, a gas passage extending from bottom to top of said body, a tip carried by said body, and communicating with said passage, a p1urality of valve seats in said passage, valves rotatable within said seats, and blades carried by said valves and arranged to point in different directions when the valves are open.

3. A gas burner comprising a body provided with a horizontal gas passage having a plurality of valve seats therein, one of said valve seats communicating with the supply of gas, a hollow valve seated in said last named seat and adapted to communicate with the horizontal gas passage, solid valves located in the other seats in the gas passage, a burner tip in the top of the body seated in an opening communicating with the horizontal gas passage, and fan blades secured to each of the valves and arranged to point in difierent directions when the valves are open.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
